The Well-Known Port for LDAPS is 636. But I think LDAP is one of those protocols where you can also use the non-secure port and they'll negotiate security.

Although for readability, efficiency and reduced likelihood of coding errors, I would recommend using String.format() to build the ldapUrl string instead of brute concatenation.

Upgrade the LDAP server to support LDAPS. Use the "ldaps:" URL. Change port if needed. Should be all it takes.

Thanks, Tim... Here  I am not hardcoding the port number either as 389 or 636 instead we are fetching it from AD Domain  Directory itself, Using a bean. So is it needed to add the SSL or any authorized certificate? or will it work without a certificate as well?
